Marco Rubio: Their behavior is going to have to change one way or another, but it allows us to now target what they're operating
and to use other elements of American power and intelligence agencies,
the Department of Defense, whatever, to target these groups if we have an opportunity to do it.
We have to start treating them as armed terrorist organizations,
not simply drug dealing organizations.

Trace Gallagher: I mean, I think it's a proper assessment.
I don't know what you think about this Jonathan, but it's interesting because these cartels are no longer just providing these illegal products by the thousands of pounds.
They're killing thousands of Americans.
-
Jonathan Fahey: You're exactly right.
And if you think about it just during the Biden administration,
400,000 people died of overdose deaths, just in that four-year term.
And as we know, there was just a complete dereliction of duty on the border as well as taking it to their cartels.
And just for some context, that's 100,000 more than during the first Trump administration.
So a massive increase, we need to take it to them because, yeah, people are dying.
And President Trump isn't going to just stand by and just say, oh, this is now the status quo.
100,000 Americans a year are going to die of overdose.
This is unacceptable. He's going to take it to them.
And there's another benefit to this by even talking about this.
The messaging is so strong on this.
This will inspire cooperation from all these countries where we may be acting in.
So all of these will be a good thing.
And we'll track this at the end of the year where these overdose deaths go.
-
Trace Gallagher: And I'm interested in, you know, when you get pushed back on this because the upside is enormous on this.
And the downside is also enormous.
I mean, if you don't do this and you continue to let tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Americans die,
I mean, it is, this is something that there is a fix to at least.
There's somewhat of a remedy to this if we go forward.
-
Jonathan Fahey: Yeah, exactly. And it's almost like we've had four years where we weren't even trying to do something during the Biden administration.
Yeah, it's not acceptable because a hundred thousand people a year are dying.
Those are those people, their families, their communities.
Everyone in this country is affected by this.
So it's trying to take it to these cartels.
And their good days are over.
They had their heyday under the Biden administration.
But the game is up and the Trump administration is going after them.
And I think this is very effective, not only substantively, but I think the messaging is quite clear on this.
